Player Updates

Wahl and prospects Adam Hill and Felix Valerio were traded to the Brewers on Saturday in exchange for outfielder Keon Broxton.

Though he's now been traded for the second time in less than a year, Wahl still holds plenty of long-term promise as a reliever largely on the strength of his big fastball, which averaged 96.1 miles per hour across his seven big-league appearances with the Mets last season. Poor health has disrupted Wahl's development over the past two seasons -- he required surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome in 2017 and dealt with a hamstring strain at the end of 2018 -- but he'll be ready to go for spring training and should get every opportunity to compete for an Opening Day bullpen gig with Milwaukee.

Wahl was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday due to a Grade 1 right hamstring strain.

Wahl suffered the injury during the nightcap of Thursday's twin bill against the Phillies. He will be eligible to return Aug. 27 versus the Cubs. In a corresponding move, Daniel Zamora was called up from Double-A Binghamton.

Wahl will be evaluated for a tweaked hamstring Friday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Wahl tweaked the hamstring during his outing in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader but surrendered two earned runs over his lone inning before being removed. Friday's evaluation will shed more light on how severe the tweak is, at which point a firmer timetable for Wahl's return will be available.

Wahl was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio reports.

After being acquired from Oakland on July 21, Wahl has posted a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP while striking out eight across 5.1 innings of relief with Las Vegas. He will immediately slide into a low-leverage role the Mets' bullpen after spending the entirety of the 2018 campaign at the Triple-A level. During seven big-league appearances in 2017 with the Athletics, he allowed four earned runs and struck out eight in 7.2 innings.

Wahl was acquired by the Mets on Saturday as part of the package for Jeurys Familia.

Wahl sat in the high 90s in 2016 and looked like a future high-leverage weapon, but his velocity has been down after Thoracic Outlet surgery in 2017, making him look like a middle-relief option at best. The 26-year-old has performed well for Triple-A Nashville this season, though, tossing 39.2 innings with a 2.27 ERA and an impressive 42.8 percent strikeout rate. He'll head to Triple-A Las Vegas.
